The main application of stream ciphers is online-encryption of arbitrarily long data, for example when transmitting speech data between a Bluetooth headset and a mobile GSM phone o...
Abstract. Grain [11] is a lightweight stream cipher submitted by M. Hell, T. Johansson, and W. Meier to the eSTREAM call for stream cipher proposals of the European project ECRYPT ...
In this paper we present a new class of stream ciphers based on a very simple mechanism. The heart of our method is a Feedback with Carry Shift Registers (FCSR) automaton. This au...
Abstract. The filter generator consists of a linear feedback shift register (LFSR) and a Boolean filtering function that combines some bits from the shift register to create a ke...
In 1985 Siegenthaler introduced the concept of correlation attacks on LFSR based stream ciphers. A few years later Meier and Staffelbach demonstrated a special technique, usually ...
